Once you have the slide positioned correctly, and the sight pusher block 

set to the correct height, thread on the two hold down knobs and hand 

tighten.  DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN KNOBS!!

Recheck the slide and pusher block alignment.  Once you are satisfied 

with your settings start to rotate the Adjustment Handle so that the 

pusher block moves in the direction you want the sight to move.  

Some sights can be stuck or require extra force in order to get the sight 

to move.  If at any time the sight pusher block dramatically twists, STOP 

FURTHER ADJUSTMENT.  

If the pusher block is not vertical, you may have to tap the bottom cor-

ner of the pusher block with a punch and hammer in the direction the 

sight is being moved.  

DO NOT apply excessive force to the Adjustment Handle this may cause 

damage to the AccuSight Tool or your sights.  

Once you have the sight moving, you can utilize the hash marks located 

on the front of the Top Carriage Assembly as a guide.  Each hashmark 

represents 1/32”. 

Section II

1911 Type pistols

When installing sights onto 1911 type pistols or any other pistol that 

has a slide profile like a 1911, you will want to use the notched area of 

the Height Adjustment Clamp.  The notch will fit the contour of your 

1911 slide.  

When installing front sights on a 1911 type pistol you want to use the 

cut-out portion of the Bottom Assembly Block. Shown here.
